Dear All,
I am trying to watch some videos on iTunes. Is that possible with Fedora?
Thanks in advance,

If you mean apple trailers on their website, then yes; install
gecko-mediaplayer from RPMFusion non-free. If you mean the itunes
desktop application, then no.

Thanks. I have just installed
npapi-vlc
but the reported problem persists notwithstanding.
Any ideas?
As an example of the reported failure, try the following:

Thanks, Frank, but the links you mention do not correspond to the
course on iTunes -- the lecturers are not the same.

Thanks to both. I have just installed
gecko-mediaplayer
but when I click on the video link at the iTunes website, I get the
following error:
"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol
(itmss) isn't associated with any program."

To me, it suffices to watch the videos on Firefox. No need for a
standalone application.

Ahh sorry, I neglected with whom you are dealing,
iTunes, DRM, bad medicine. ;)
http://www.codeweavers.com/about/support_wine
So this can be expected from the Wine,
http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/search?name=itunes&search=app
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1347
I guess this can help you,

Good luck with bad medicine.

I get offered an opportunity to download itunes.
do you get that? or does it choke before that?
but I forgot to mention I'm using Centos 6.5, which DOES
view movie trailers at apple.com/trailers without problems.
I suspect that's what those who offered advice were assuming
(and what I would have assumed, too) from the original description.

how magnanimous of them. of course, they have forgotten that not
the entire world is either windoze or macOS. (or maybe they just
don't care...)

You would need Wine, or a vm running Windows.
